Officer Kevin White said he was in the area of 57th Street and Troost Avenue earlier this month to answer a call about a robbery. He said he found a 61-year-old man on the ground bleeding.

Investigators said the man had been stabbed several times after getting off a city bus.

White said he went to a hospital a couple of days later to check on the victim. He said the doctor told him that if the man had arrived at the hospital 30 to 60 seconds later, he might not have survived.

The victim has since been released from the hospital.

Police are hoping to talk with a man who was seen getting off the bus about the same time as the victim. They released a surveillance picture of the man and encouraged anyone who recognizes him to call the Crime Stoppers TIPS Hotline at 816-474-8477.
